ok, lets assume that god created everything as is, with no evolution involved.
this is what jw's teach based on a singular vague verse in genesis.
made according to their types.
What you and most fail to realize is that you are referring to the Hebrew god. There are many other gods that are just as "real" to people as the Hebrew one.
Personally, I no longer believe in the Hebrew god or any other man made deity, however, remember that "Jehovah' isn't the only god out there. Thus, your Noah's ark story disproves "Jehovah" but not the other man made gods.
Hopefully that makes some sense. It's been a long day.
why are only pioneers allowed to do "metropolitan witnessing"?
why do they need "special training" to stand like a zombie for hours, speaking only to their fellow elite?.
even a pioneer's mother couldn't answer me!.
In France, It's been like this since the beginning of the year. I don't have the official answer, but one can speculate.
Some will reason that since we have a big JW sign, lots of literature and thus might attract more attention than per usual, the organization wants brothers and sisters that are well versed in JW doctrine so that they may correctly respond to any questions posed.
In addition to that, maybe its a way for the organization to help pioneers reach their goal hours. I'm not sure if the pioneer numbers are dropping, but one can hope.
That's all I have :)
heyo!.
i'm quite interested in knowing the average age of those of us who use this forum.
i made a quick strawpoll that you can find at the following link: http://strawpoll.me/4340636 just pick an age and click "vote" if you wish to participate.. admins: if this breaks any rules, i apologize in advance..
we (and by 'we', i mean my wife) decided that we should try something new and she, erm, i mean 'we', liked the idea of painting.
so i enthusiastically (i.e.
begrudgingly) went along for the night to the "pain nite" event she'd booked us for a couple of weeks ago.. the premise is pretty simple: it's held in a pub or restaurant, all the art supplies are provided, the instructor then walks you through how to reproduce a painting they have chosen for the night and you have a glass of wine or beer, do some painting, have something to eat, have some more wine, more painting, more wine, realize you are drinking the dirty paint water and so on.. here's the site: https://www.paintnite.com/.
uh, excuse me... how much are you asking?
That's beautiful! I wish I could do that!
heyo!.

I'd like to sincerely apologize for ending the 10 year increment at 60. I did not mean any disrespect whatsoever and I am so proud to now know that there are wonderful seniors out there that actually know how to operate a computer,AND use a forum. Even I myself have difficulties at times! So kudos to you!
I'm really happy that many of you participated and thank you all!
so, the latest "kids" kingdom melody video is out.. here are some screenshots:.
.
yep, that's right, they showed a kid with a teddy bear getting baptized.. here's the video in full for documentation, if you can stomach it.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ellrtyj_maq.
Sigh. I don't understand how children can be baptized into something that they don't fully understand. They and their parents may feel like they do, but we all know that most, if not all children, have no clue of what they want nor do they understand subjects to their fullest extent...
heyo!.

i want to marry only in the lord but as the balance of brothers and sisters are not even and i am getting older as time goes by, im kinda a little panicky now.
;(
Guys, I doubt the OP will be around to read the responses.
So, I will take the time to say this. Instead of making ridiculous posts, perhaps we could try to word our responses in a way that will help the OP to question something? I mean, a witness stumbles on our forum, giving us an opportunity to "reverse-witness" to them and instead we mock them? Come on, guys, I thought we were better than that.
i've just signed up two days ago, but i've been lurking for about a year and a half.
here's my story if you're interested:.
my parents converted when they were in their first semester of college.
Welcome!
There isn't much I can say that others haven't. However, I will say, hang on. From this point forward, it's only going to get better. I promise :) There will be days when you will feel down and out, depressed, there will be rough times, but never forget that you are free. You can now be EXACTLY who YOU want to be. Life will slowly start to come together and you can stand up, proud of who you are.
I look forward to your future posts and wish you the very best in your journey,
Garrett
i saw this on facebook.
i'm nauseous from reading.
it's just another example of how some will go so far to make up bs and pawn it off as "truth.".
Wow. I can't believe I've ever denied Jehovah's power, this is definitely his work. There is no way that the reason that this dog went to the meetings even after his companion died was because, and I quote "The dog got into the routine of bringing our brother every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday to the Kingdom Hall."
